Rocky ll 6 x 6 Acrylic Dog Portrait by John K. Harrell

SOLD

I am running a 15% pet portrait discount special from January 15 Thru Feb 14the 2013. Pet portraits are one of my favorite subjects to paint. I'm totally puppy whipped by my own dog Penny and have a 36 x 36 portrait of her in my home. So if you want to take the infatuation level up a notch with your own pet, I can help you out by painting his or her's portrait. Price is based on size. Email me for pricing.

About Me

Since early youth, supported by the encouragement of his grandmother who painted beside him, John K. Harrell has engaged in an artistic dialogue with his surroundings. Using color, light and form, his work celebrates the beauty and the poignancy of the seemingly commonplace. Here is an artist who delights in color and shape, whose technique is classical and impressionistic, and whose work virtually sings of his personal love affair with life.
John says of his process “Being an artist is doing what comes naturally. My subjects choose me-their patterns and shapes, their sense of rhythm and movement, inspire my creative energy. Pastel and acrylic allow me to capture the immediacy of the experience.”
Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, John studied at the Colorado State University and attended classes at the Art Students League of Denver, Colorado. He has made his home in Denver where he has cultivated a strong and loyal national and local following.
